“As an adult student with four children, I knew (returning to college) would be challenging, but I did not anticipate the roadblocks from most other schools. Cabarrus College of Health Sciences not only removed the roadblocks, but it paved the way for my success… Cabarrus College makes it easy to further your education. I was able to earn my BSN at virtually no cost! Cabarrus College really does have it all covered for the adult student.”

“I have attended a few institutions and none of them compared to Cabarrus College. The instructors are so personable and meet you where you are in your nursing journey and your home and work life. There was so much balance in this program that I longed for in others. I believe this degree opened many new doors for me and I would recommend anyone on the fence to take the plunge. You will not regret it and the Cabarrus College team is there to help you the entire way.”

“Spending clinical time in Atrium Health hospitals meant many managers were familiar with who I was, and they already knew my work ethic. Without Cabarrus College, I would not have landed my dream job right out of school! A professor’s connection with a former graduate that worked in my desired specialty is what gained me access to shadow on the unit and meet the nurse manager. From there, I got an interview and had a job offer 3 months before I graduated. I truly wouldn’t be where I am today in my career without Cabarrus College!”
